Dentist captured on video extracting a patient's tooth as he rode a hoverboard sentenced to 12 years for Medicaid fraud and other crimes.

Evidence presented at trial showed other patients were left unattended while sedated, had breathing and heart complications and in some cases nearly died.

Patients also testified they woke from anesthesia to discover Lookhart worked on or removed the wrong teeth or strayed from agreed treatment plans. The judge said he was particularly struck by numerous text messages in which Lookhart bragged to friends about his crimes.“While I do not doubt that I was able to render care and alleviate the pain to many people who were in dire need, I also know that I could have and should have maintained better discipline and focus while serving a patient base I came to love,” he said.

His attorney, Kevin Fitzgerald, pleaded for leniency during sentencing, saying that Lookhart lost his business, faced lawsuits, was the subject of"negative publicity" and is"likely" to lose his license. "I know I would be my best self and, in turn, be able to serve my family and the community best if I were granted the privilege and the hope of a renewed lease on life practicing dentistry and living among those that I love," Lookhart told the court Monday.Fitzgerald said he would ask corrections officials if Lookhart can serve from home with an ankle monitor to prevent the spread of coronavirus, according to NBC affiliateCourt records show the dentist was due back in court Dec.
